ITALO PISONI

1932 ITALO PISONI – 2025
It is with great sadness and loving memories that we announce the peaceful passing of ltalo Pisoni on August 8, 2025 at the age of 92 years. Italo was born November 10, 1932, in Castel Madruzzo, Italy and was one of four children to Giacamo & Ersilia. Italo is survived by his beloved wife, Rose, of 68 years; children, Sheila (Grant), Dean (Judy), Darrell (Lisa) and Don (Denise); six grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; his sister, Piera of Calgary; sisters-in-law, Maria Rosa and Julie Schafer; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents; brother, Luciano; sister, Corona; sisters-in-law, Emily Anhelher and Kathleen Volk; brothers-in law, John Anhelher, Peter Schafer and Leo Volk; as well as Rose’s parents, Tony and Elizabeth Volk.
At 19 years of age, ltalo came to Canada to join his cousins and aunt and uncle in search of a better life filled with hope and opportunity. In his early years, he worked a variety of jobs including a ranch hand, Alberta Clay Products, IXL Industries, Maple Leaf Mills, Knight-Schmidt Industries and as a roofer for Plato’s.
He discovered his true passion in wood working and became a self-taught carpenter and worked as a finishing carpenter for many years until his retirement. He was always busy tinkering in his garage or enjoying his hobbies which were many; fishing, hunting, wine and sausage making, playing cards, camping, gardening, and fixing almost anything. The gardens he tended with Rose were the envy of the neighborhood – always producing more than enough to share with family and friends. He was an enthusiastic and hard worker who never turned down a request to help with friends or family. In his eighties he still loved working in the yard and could often be seen shoveling snow, cutting grass and even hanging Christmas lights. He was never intimidated by any task that he could do himself.
He and Rose shared many adventures together such as camping in the mountains, trips to Phoenix, tours to Branson and theater events across Alberta.
ltalo was a devoted catholic and volunteered as an usher for his church and was a long-time member of the Knights of Columbus. He also volunteered at Prairie Gleaners and the Salvation Army feeding those in need. He was incredibly outgoing, always ready with a warm smile and conversation for anyone he met, especially on the walking trails he and Rose frequented daily.
Above all, ltalo was an exceptional husband, father and grandfather and his family meant the world to him. He was thrilled to have all his grandchildren living in the same city and rarely missed an opportunity to attend their sports, events or activities they were involved in.
In 2021, he and Rose moved to a senior residence where they enjoyed a fresh chapter of life reconnecting with old friends and making new ones. Ever active, ltalo eagerly participated in the many activities and exercise room that were available. ltalo leaves behind a legacy of kindness, integrity, generosity and dedication to family. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know him.
